Dear Accox4
I was looking for something else and found your story about your daughter by accident, but I have learned that there are really no coincidences.
I believe there is a reason I accidentally came across this. Our son has had RSD for over six years, but he's been in remission from pain since June 2010. Well, actually he's been in and out of pain remission because he doesn't get that he's different from other kids and he does things like getting on a trampoline and then gets re-injured. Then he gets a booster Calmare treatment, and thankfully responds well to it and goes into remission again. Please, please check out this non-invasive, non-painful treatment. We went to Dr. D'Amato in Providence, RI, and he is the best!
Good luck and God bless! I hope you see this! Blessings, Kim

However, I don't want to put her through it if the Lidocaine doesn't give good relief. She has not had relief from nerve blocks; she has had 5 out of the series of 6, each providing only a few days relief of decreased pain, but the pain was still there. She is so fed up with getting poked and injections, trying this and trying that, with nothing working. I just hate to put her through it if it won't be enough.
Why did you switch from the Lidocaine to the Ketamine? Did the first rounds of Lidocaine work and then stop working?
